And… liftoff!

March 1, 2016

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?
No, it’s my brand new website – finally in the air!

I’m Christoffer Helgelin Hald. I’m 36 years old. This is my first blog post on my new website.

I’m a digital designer and work at design agency Re-public in Copenhagen, Denmark. I make a living thinking and shaping digital solutions of all kinds. Which means that most of the time I just wreste with my own bug-ridden code. I graduated from the ‘Graphic Arts Institute of Denmark’ (now ‘Danmarks Medie- og Journalisthøjskole’) in 2004 with a thesis on Interactive Design.

I have looked forward to this moment for long time. My new website has been underway for over a year. However, I got my first website on the Internet way back in 1996. More than 20 years ago – or more than half my life. My experience tells me, that making something for yourself takes at four times as longer than usual – if it ever gets finished.

The website consists of two parts. Work – with many examples of different projects, websites, illustrations and other graphic oddities. And then the Blog – of which you’re reading the first post right here.

Fire up that Cure album and try to figure out what bars have the most craft beers and the least people.
